Chinese New Year is just around the corner (February 16,2018-February 4,2019) – what does it mean? Surely there’s no better time to re-evaluate your achievements in 2017 and start thinking about your goals for the year to come.

But here’s the good news:

If your zodiac sign is the Dog, you are one lucky, lucky person! (If you are born in one of these years: 1934,1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006,2018).

There is so much in store for Dogs this year.

Before delving into the predictions of 2018, it’s essential to shed light firstly on the Dog’s personality traits: what does it mean from a career perspective, for this Chinese New Year?

1. Dogs are loyal and obey all orders

Loyalty does good in any industry or job function. It’s essential for maintaining successful relationships in your career and in your life in general… So that’s pretty positive!

2. They are never satisfied with being worse than others

Competitiveness is also key to any career path. Although, more specifically, competitive people, also known as ‘Type A’ personalities, can look into sales jobs or even law jobs.

3. They are sensitive to details

Being detail-oriented is a true advantage – so many doors can open just with this trait. For example, jobs like:

When reading all these traits, it seems that Dogs make good candidates for a broad range of careers. Although being a nurse or a doctor seems to come back quite often!

Now, according to Dog Fortune in 2018, career-minded Dogs are advised to engage in advanced studies – or establish their own business if they feel unhappy with their current job situation.

It is also predicted that dogs will have more confidence to make decisions. In other words, they will finally get “big breakthroughs”.

In this case, we can say 2018 will be a year for revelations.

In fact, all individuals whose Earth element is predominant in their Chinese horoscope (Ox, Dragon, Goat, Dog) can expect a stability through the entire year – which will allow them to organize their lives more confidently and efficiently.

The Chinese Horoscope 2018 predicts that this year of the Brown Earth Dog “is going to be a good year in all respects, but it will also be an exhausting year. You will be happy, yet frustrated, rested, yet tired, cheerful, yet dull!”

A year for revelations and…contrasts, then?

Later, still according to the Chinese Horoscope of 2018, it says “Refreshed and regenerated, the Dog will accelerate the initiation of all things, but this will bring, in the same time, pressure and stress in the everyday life.”

In other words, Dogs, you can expect a year full of initiations – how great is that?

Otherwise, it seems that health will be a concern for Doggos this year. Surely things are looking positive on a financial side, but apparently you will need to emphasize on your health, as year 2018 is the ideal time for you Dogs to start changing your lifestyles and getting rid of bad habits.
